About this listen

In a world that celebrates vision but forgets implementation, Leading Forward brings leadership down from PowerPoint slides to the pressure of real kitchens and boardrooms. Hosted by Rahul Shrivastava — a global leader with 24 years across Griffith Foods, ITC, and Pizza Hut — this podcast cuts through buzzwords to talk about the real stuff: people, purpose and performance.


Every episode dives into stories from the field — the moments where calculated strategy met chaotic execution, and how humility turned into growth. You’ll hear about building teams across continents, leading in crisis, reinventing careers at mid‑life, and balancing profit with purpose. No textbook jargon, just applied wisdom from a leader who’s been in the mix — quite literally.

If you’re a manager rising through complexity, an entrepreneur seeking sustainable momentum, or a professional re‑designing your leadership identity in the AI era, Leading Forward is your weekly dose of clarity and courage.

Tune in for stories that smell like real work, not conference rooms. This is leadership with texture — seasoned, tested, and served warm.
